Montreal Firefighter Interventions with Locations and Units Deployed Since 2005

Interventions carried out by the Montreal Fire Safety Service (SIM) are listed, including location and deployed units. Data originates from the Workstation Assisted Dispatch System (RAO) for real-time management and reporting. The dataset is used for reports to the Ministry of Public Security and for compiling statistics for citizens, media, and insurers.

Use Cases
